Abstract: 18,816. Wanderer Fahrradwerke vorm. Winklhofer & Jaenicke Akt.-Ges. Sept. 10, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Type-writers.-In tabulating-devices for typewriters, the striking-rod is actuated by a shaft which is displaced longitudinally in order to turn the striking-rod, and is rotated in order to displace the striking-rod longitudinally. The paper carriage a carries a stop b, and in the machine frame is journalled a striking-rod d having serrations which are engaged by pawls e. Part of the rod d is formed as a rack which is connected by spurwheels g, h with a shaft i, rotated by means of a button k. The angle of turning of the shaft is limited by a notched disc l which is engaged by a spring, and the angle is shown by a pointer moving over a scale p divided into units, tens, hundreds, &c. When the shaft i is displaced longitudinally, it is prevented from rotating by a stop n which engages one of the notches of the disc l. When the knob k is pushed in, a collar on the shaft i engages a lever r which turns the striking-rod d on its axis. A carrier u, Fig. 6, on the rod d then rocks a lever v which presses down the control tooth w of the carriage-locking gear and allows the carriage to be drawn along by its spring. The lever v also actuates a lever x which presses a braking-jaw y against a rod z, or against a fixed braking-jaw y<1>.

Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 9792. Gardner, T. H., and Gardner, E. April 26. Gas and like engines, igniting in. In electric ignition devices for internal - combustion engines, the speed of the magneto or generator is varied by a clutch arrangement, while further means are provided to alter the time of ignition. On the armature shaft a are mounted two spur - wheels b, c adapted to engage with two spur - wheels d, f respectively. The latter wheels are mounted free to rotate on a countershaft e, which also carries loosely a clutch j, having two spring-pressed pawls m, i arranged to gear with teeth on the wheels d, f. By means of the throw-over lever q, the clutch rotates with either of the wheels d, f, thus, by reason of the difference in the sizes of the four wheels b, c, d, f, giving to the magneto the desired variation in speed, between starting and continuous running. The clutch receives its rotary motion by the engagement of a spur - wheel o, formed on the clutch, with a wheel p mounted loosely on the engine shaft v, this wheel also driving the cam shaft for the operation of the electrodes or commutator shaft. On an extension to the wheel p is formed a helical tooth u ; a spring- pressed pawl x, Fig. 2, carried on a feather-keyed disk w driven from the engine drives the wheel p, and by sliding the disk w along the shaft the timing of ignition may be altered. If the engine is reversed, owing to this pawl connexion reverse rotation of the cam shaft is obviated. The pawl may be on the wheel p and the helical tooth on the disk w, while the disk w may be fixed on the shaft v, the wheel p and extension t sliding thereon.

Title: Process and Apparatus for Filtering Slimes.
Inventor: BUTTERS CHARLES
Filed: 1906-09-21
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 20,979. Butters, C. Sept. 21. Filtering slimes.-In filtering slimes, means are provided whereby soluble values adhering to insoluble particles are washed out and recovered. The filter box 21 contains a number of filter frames 22, each constructed on three sides of piping 1 provided with holes 1<b>, and on the top side of rigid material 1<a>. The inner space is filled with fibrous material 4 covered on each side with filter-cloth 5. The filter-cloths are suitably secured over the piping 1 and are further secured to the material 4 by rows of sewing 6<b>, strips 9 of wood &c. being secured on the outside. The pulp to be treated is contained in a tank 18 and, after being thickened by decantation, is allowed to flow into the filter box 21 until the frames 22 are covered. The cock 19 is then close 1 and a vacuum pump, in connexion with a pipe 17 and drum 13, is started and put into communication with the piping 1 of the filter frames 22 through flexible connexions 12, by opening a valve 14. Clear solution is sucked through the filter-cloths and the holes 1<b> into the tank 13, from which it flows to a sump 16 through a long pipe 15. The surplus pulp is returned from the box 21 to the tank 18 by a pun:p 23. A solvent for the values is next admitted from the tank 26 and is sucked through the frames, taking with it the soluble values from the cakes adhering to the cloths. The surplus solution is returned to the tank 26 by a pump 27. Water is admitted from tank 30, and sufficient is sucked through the cakes to displace any remaining solution. The valve 14 is then closed, and water under pressure is admitted to the pipe 11 and thence to the interior frames 22 ; or the frames may be filled with water and compressed air admitted. The adhering cakes are thereby loosened and are discharged with water into a launder 33. The eaves 8 of the bars 1<a> project so as to cause drops to fall clear of the cakes ; and the accumulation of pulp on the cloths other than at the filtering area is prevented by coating the cloths at these points with waterproofing-material. Deposit on the cloths due to lime or magnesia may be removed by means of dilute hydrochloric acid, the frames being immersed in the acid, or the acid being forced or drawn through the frames.
